Welcome to the ShopBot project wiki, a resource for all kinds of information on using your ShopBot CNC tool and making things with it. Anyone can read any of the information that's here, but wikis really work best when everyone adds to them. You'll need to create an account to edit or add to the wiki but it's free and easy to do by clicking the "log in/create account" button in the upper right corner. If you're new to working with wikis you can find some [[Help:Contents|Help here]] and try things out in the [[Test Sandbox]]. Also check the [[ShopBot_Wiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal]] occasionally for notices and tips on working with the wiki.

ShopBot Wiki:

Welcome to the ShopBot wiki, a resource for all kinds of information on using your ShopBot CNC tool and making things with it. Anyone can read any of the information that's here, but wikis really work best when everyone also adds to them. You'll need to create an account to edit or add to the wiki, though, which you can do from the "Login/Create Account" link in the upper right hand corner of each page. If you're new to working with wikis you can find some Help here and, when you're ready to dive in, try things out in our Test Page. Also check the Community Portal occasionally for notices and tips on working with the wiki.

We've broken things down into what we think (hope!) are logical categories below so feel free to browse around and PLEASE add to or edit any information that you find that you think could use some improvement. As with all new projects there are lots of empty sections in the beginning, but we hope you'll help us quickly fill it in. Check back often...there's always information being added and refined...and please participate.
